| PARIS European Union countries will increase cooperation among police, intelligence and judicial agencies following the bombings in Madrid, President Jacques Chirac of France said Tuesday. A response certain to strike fear in the hearts of terrorists everywhere Perhaps this means he will address Amreican anger and frustratin with France, non? "We must fight poverty, humiliation and injustice which create a fertile ground for violence," he added. The poverty evident among those driven to attack the World Trade Center shows how central this fight is to stopping terrorism Chirac and Schröder did not elaborate, but Dominique de Villepin, the French foreign minister, said on Monday that terrorism was "gaining" because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict The Joooos and the situation in Iraq The Merkins . The Arabs are held harmless by us for their behavior stands as an example to all Frenchmen "We can’t ignore the fact that there are two hotbeds that are feeding instability and terrorism around the world," Villepin told the French radio station RTL. Emboldened by the electoral victory of the socialists in Spain on Sunday - the incoming government in Spain has vowed to withdraw troops from Iraq and has criticized the war itself - Villepin said that "it is essential to draw lessons" from the Iraq episode and realize that it was an "error." Such words could rekindle the acrimony between those countries - like France, Germany and Belgium - that opposed the war in Iraq, and those that actively supported it, mainly Britain and Poland. Wouldn’t it be a shame if the Brits finally told the Frogs to take the last hike? The European Union’s foreign ministers are due to meet in Brussels on Friday for an emergency meeting to discuss the Madrid attacks. "What do you think about the attack, Jacques?" Thank Allah it wasn’t Paris, Gerd Yes, the Spanish make an excellent testing ground. Worked well for us in the ’30’s Before that meeting, the European Confederation of Police, an organization representing European police officers based in Luxembourg, urged the EU on Tuesday to avoid "pointless activism." The law enforcement model requires that no pointless activity take place till after innocents have died. The confederation, known as Eurocop, said that the "lagging implementation" sometimes reality is so ridiculous you just can’t make it funnier of an existing action really? action! plan on terrorism was "by far the greater problem." The Madrid attacks have led to several proposals from EU leaders Watch for these ideas to be incorporated in Kerry’s anti-terror speeches in the next week :
That’ll have Osama quaking in his boots "I think there is still a chance to reach a deal before the end of the Irish presidency," Schröder said. Special multicultural touch for St. Patty’s Day Ireland took over the rotating presidency of the EU in January and relinquishes it at the end of June. Chirac also said both countries were "in principle" in favor of Croatian membership in the European Union but would await a report by the European Commission before the end of the year on Zagreb’s democratic reforms. A reward for the Croats initiating the dismemberment of Yugoslavia and the reintroduction of ethnic cleansing into European statecraft. |
